The past couple of months have been very intense, leading up to the Paralympic Games. We have been to four different training camps preparing for London, with one more to go.

I still can't stress enough how amazing it is to
be a part of something so awesome. With each passing day I am more and more
excited for the Games to begin.

Watching the Olympics for Judo was a huge boost
of excitement for me. Watching my fellow judoka fight their hearts out on the
world’s largest stage was an amazing experience and boost of motivation.
They're all terrific athletes and individuals, and to me they seem great
inspirations - not just to judoka but to athletes everywhere with a dream.

They truly show what it means to have heart and
to leave everything on the mat/field of competition.
